RI is the time set aside in Years 1-12 in state schools where parents/carers can consent for their children to be educated in the faith of their choosing. Your child will only be placed in RI if you give your consent. RI is provided by major faith groups in many schools across Queensland. To find out what is available at your school please refer to the school website.
The Queensland Education (General Provisions) Act (2006) allows accredited representatives of recognised faith groups to make this contribution as part of a holistic approach to education.
RI is one way of promoting the spiritual development and wellbeing of young Australians.
RI lessons are usually conducted for up to 30 minutes on a weekly basis throughout the school year.
